Meet the Author

Rachel Hyman, a married mother of two almost-grown children, is a former elementary school reading teacher turned author and songwriter. She has been passionate about books, the magic of rhyme, and the power of language for as long as she can remember, always finding joy in the rhythm of words. The “It’s a Hyman-Rhymin’ Book” logo is Rachel’s way of passing that love along to young readers. When children see it on a book, they know they will find silly stories told in rhyme, which practically guarantees a great time!

Rachel lives in Palatine, Illinois. She enjoys traveling solo whenever possible, exploring booksellers, thrift stores, quirky museums, and candy shops along the way.
